Student Perspective

“The UWF math/stat graduate program prepared me for a job in the banking industry by teaching me to think outside of the proverbial box. One can learn many problem-solving strategies from reading textbooks and articles, but in order to fully understand the concept, you must apply the idea or technique. The graduate program was an excellent place to do just that. The faculty provided encouragement and support and many opportunities to explore ideas and gain research experience.” — Ashleigh Wetzel
